And we can get into the details of what those are and why some technologies work really, really well in some applications.

And then other technologies work really, really well in other applications.

And so when we started to take a look at

what other products we need in order to finish sort of the system, the system of systems, so that we're not just saying, hey, we have this great effector, but it has to plug in, or we have to leverage what you have and what you're using already inside your country.

We knew kind of at the beginning or when I started as a chief product officer that we would need sort of a standalone version where we could have radar, electro-optical, telescopes, all of that stuff.

and our own command and control software to kind of tie it all together.

So we built that, and then we built basically where we can take the head off and plug into systems like Andral's Lattice.

And so we're working with Andral pretty tightly in order to ensure that as they release Lattice for their various customers that they're starting to pick up, that our system is well controlled by that software.

So it basically became a...

situation where we needed other products in order to complete the product that we had.

And so by that need, we went out and either sourced through third parties or developed ourselves a whole sensing suite, command and control suite, simulator.

We have this really incredible, it's built by guys that used to work at Call of Duty on the Call of Duty program and Blizzard.

And we've got about 12 or so designers, which at Raytheon,

You know, no one ever hires designers at Raytheon, hardly.

It's like something unique.

Why?

Well, they don't have a design-led philosophy there.

And when we talk about what is Silicon Valley adding to the whole mix, if you will, you say, well, why is Silicon Valley sort of better in some way?

I lean into the design-led thinking.

And design-led thinking is human factors, human thinking from the very beginning.
